Waiting but the wait
won’t be long
won’t be wrong
and hopefully will be something
seen as strong
Elevating responsibility
carrying the world upon shoulders
meant for grounding wings
take to the skies
before they can turn truth into lies
Is it possible for beginners
Even after so many endings
absent and empty
one with flow
and into dry water
soaking sun
the name has been called
isn’t it interesting
when we finally take a break
moment washes in
and it is so familiar
as if we haven’t even
moved or aged
